“Whatever you need to throw at me, I can take it. I won't break.”

― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Frost and Starlight

“Stop punishing yourself for being someone with a heart. You cannot protect yourself from suffering. To live is to grieve. You are not protecting yourself by shutting yourself off from the world. You are limiting yourself.”
